Starbucks's #PinkDrink [1] has taken over your Instagram feed, and as with any viral hit, it's likely to become one of 2016's most popular Halloween costumes [2]. That's why I decided to plan early and dream up a #PinkDrink costume that's easy to re-create in an hour or less while still looking incredibly creative. The best part is that you can easily transform this into a group costume [3] and create the whole line of Rainbow Drinks [4].
Here's what you'll need:
- 1-2 safety pins
- 1 color printout of the Starbucks logo [5], cut into a circle
- 1 pink dress (preferably strapless)
- 1 large green Starbucks straw and plastic cup lid
- 1 pair of red shoes/heels (bonus if they look like strawberries!)
- 1 Pink Drink [6] (optional, but it ties the costume together)
Once you've assembled your costume components, pin the Starbucks logo to the front of the dress using safety pins. Tie your hair into a topknot [7] and stick the straw through the bun at a diagonal. Stick the cup lid through the straw and rest it along the top of the bun. Strap on your shoes and hold a Pink Drink in hand, and prepare to make other Starbucks fanatics like yourself really happy at the sight of you!
